Guests at Foxwoods won big money and lavish, complimentary trips in January with Cash Cube Sundays and the Foxwoods to Caesars Vegas Giveaway. The winter excitement continued as the property announced its exclusive new Broadway Series, the first of its kind in the region, featuring multi-show performances of Broadway classics "42nd Street," "Pippin" and "MAMMA MIA!"

The January entertainment lineup sparkled with star turns from "The Empress of Soul" Gladys Knight, as well as hilarious comedians Artie Lange and Bob Marley. Guests also had the opportunity to take in Baseball Winter Weekend with the Red Sox, a star-studded event where Sox legends of past and present treated fans to autograph sessions, insider panels and much more.

February is already off to a winning start as Richard N. of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, won a $250,000 slot jackpot. The property begins this month its 25th Anniversary festivities with a 15 February kickoff party. The party will feature a giant cake cutting, speeches from Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council Chairman Rodney Butler, Foxwoods President and CEO Felix Rappaport and Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut Nancy Wyman.
